What a lame MVP race. No one is really claiming it. Lebron is making a strong case for it right now after his 17 straight points performance in the fourth quarter against New Jersey the other night. Although let's realize what I just said...against New Jersey. But that's basically what we've got to work with. Durant and the Thunder aren't playing that great lateley. Kobe is hurt. Kevin Love has tanked along with the rest of the T'Wolves. So Lebron might end up just winning it by default, which he would love by the way. Did you guys catch that interview when he was asked what it would mean to win a third MVP award? Here it is. You wanna be the MVP for your teammates and your fans, huh? Hahaha! Yeah right, Lebron. You wanna be the MVP so that everyone will continue to think you're awesome. Without a doubt you're the most gifted athlete ever to play the game of basketball, but you need to win some championships with your teammates. Your teammates don't care if you win the MVP "for them," and neither do your fans. It makes me laugh every time I think about the fact that he really said that. Your teammates want to win a championship, and you're fans want to see you holding that bigger, more important trophy at the end of the season. I agree with Skip Bayless on this one. Lebron's focus needs to be on the more important issue: winning a championship.
Here's a shout-out and a tip of my hat to Pat Summitt. She's stepping down after almost forty years as head coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols women's basketball team. She retires as the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history. Take a look.
That's all for now.
